Migraine = muzzy thoughts; and maybe backwards and forward, and around again. My guess is that the patient remembered that PRN was the special code, and they couldn't remember what else about PRN but they were pretty sure it had something to do with assessing the situation and couldn't recall if they were supposed to assess it or the doctor was. Lucky Dr. G's office is open on a Tuesday morning just at the time when the patient has the headache, or the patient might be out on the road to Dr. G's office in their bathrobe and 30 mph automobile, thus posing a danger possibly to the rest of the non-migraineurs.

That said, when I fill out the medical forms for my boy for boy scouts, I generally make sure that all the is, js and ps and qs are dotted, stressed, underlined and appropriately mined.

Because once, they didn't understand the words: "take one every morning with breakfast." And Stretch went a whole week without his ADD meds, and they complained that he was a tad rowdy on the plane on the way home.

Sorry but it could not been much of a migraine. I get them and will do or take just about anything to get rid of them.. already having the meds I would not be calling the doc to see if it was ok to take them...
